Note: The Autozoom button needs to be turned off when you manually zoom in the
Overview display. When you zoom in on a small group of taps, the Overview display
continues to show all taps. The area shown in the Tap display is indicated by the
bright rectangle in the Overview display.
Move to different sections of the Tap display
• In Logic Pro, horizontally drag the middle of the bright rectangle in the
Overview display.
The zoomed view in the Tap display updates as you drag.
Create Logic Pro Delay Designer taps
You can create new delay taps in three different ways: by using the Tap pads, by creating
them in the Identification bar, or by copying existing taps.
The fastest way to create multiple taps is to use the Tap pads. If you have a specific rhythm
in mind, you might find it easier to tap out your rhythm on dedicated hardware controller
buttons, instead of using mouse or trackpad clicks. If you have a MIDI controller, you can
assign the Tap pads to buttons on your device. For information about assigning controllers,
see the Control Surfaces Support Help.
After a tap has been created, you can adjust its position, or you can remove it. See Edit
Logic Pro
Delay Designer taps.
Taps are assigned letters, based on their order of creation. The first tap to be created
is assigned as Tap A, the second tap is assigned as Tap B, and so on. Once assigned,
each tap is always identified by the same letter, even when moved in time, and therefore
reordered. For example, if you initially create three taps, they are named Tap A, Tap B,
and Tap C. If you then change the delay time of Tap B so that it precedes Tap A, it is still
called Tap B.
The Identification bar shows the letter of each visible tap. The Tap Delay field of the Tap
parameter bar displays the letter of the currently selected tap or the letter of the tap being
edited when multiple taps are selected (for details, see Edit Logic Pro
Delay Designer taps).
Create taps with the Tap pad
1. In Logic Pro, click the upper pad (Start).
Note: Whenever you click the Start pad, it automatically erases all existing taps.
Because of this behavior, after you create your initial taps, you will want to create
subsequent taps by clicking in the Identification bar.
The upper pad label changes to Tap, and a red tap recording bar appears in the strip
below the view buttons.
2. To begin recording new taps, click the Tap button.
